UTEX LEACHING, THICKENING AND FILTRATION TESTS. Topical Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4827442

A series of leaching, thickening, and filtration tests was undertaken to determine minimum conditions for high uranium extractions and obtain thickening and filtration data. The ore represented by the sample responded to cold and hot leaching with the minimum condition for uranium extraction being 500 pounds of H/ sub 2/SO/sub 4/ per ton and five pounds NaClO/sub 3/ per ton leached at room temperature for l6 hours with uranium extraction of over 95%. Thickening and filtration were economical if a reagent such as S-3000 or Guar gum was used. (auth)
